This note is in regards to the owner Patti, not her husband Charlie; she should not be in the wedding or event business! I attended my cousins wedding this last weekend and was not impressed. I also was the florist for the wedding and right off she was not friendly and was demanding. She abruptly told me she was the ?Owner? and how long was I going to be parked there. We arrived at 1:30 and the guest would not be arriving until after 3:00 so it was not like we were in the way. She then went off and was not seen again until I arrived back at the wedding in attendance. Things were flowing according to the plan but with tension coming from all aspects such as bridesmaids, groomsmen and the wedding coordinator Jen, which by the way was wonderful and put up with a lot from Patti. Patti walked around with an apron on like she was hired help with a frown on her face at all times. People would ask ?who is that lady? and when told she was the owner nobody could believe it! Later in the evening it turned chilly and when asked to turn on the gas fire pit her husband came over without a problem and turned it on. We later learned Patti told the brides parents that because the fire pit was turned on that would be an extra $75.00 charge. Wow! With my past experience with either working an event or attending an event, the host is usually dressed according to the event attire and making sure everyone is enjoying the evening and making you feel comfortable as if it were your home, and accommodating guests whether it is to answer a question, tending to their needs or turning on heaters if they were cold with a SMILE. The evening just got worse as the night went on and too much to mention. I was so sad for our family who had to deal with her that evening and the next day. The Bride and Groom enjoyed ?their day? and made it a fun night for all regardless of the host who tried to ruin their day. Shame on you Patti!
Pros: The view
Cons: zero hospitality
